Government transparency in Georgia took a big step forward with the recent launch of the Transparency in Government Initiative. The site aims to help citizens keep track of where their tax dollars are going.
In a news release announcing the new site, Secretary of State Karen Handel said, “Responsible fiscal management begins with a commitment to transparency and accountability. Georgia taxpayers deserve to know how their tax dollars are being spent, and I am pleased to provide them with that information.”[1]
[edit] Information on Site
The initial site currently has the following information on it:
- The Georgia Secretary of State's Fiscal Year 2009 budget
- Secretary Handel's campaign and personal finance disclosures
- The Georgia Secretary of State's Office Ethics Policy.
The site is scheduled to be updated on a regular basis.
